What’s included in the Year 5 Estimate Area Homework resource and why is it useful?

Year 5 Estimate Area Homework is a set of worksheets to consolidate this step after it has been taught, at home or in class. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levelled worksheets and a full answer sheet, covering estimating the area of irregular shapes on grids where each square represents a different area.

Developing

• Q1 approximating the combined area of the irregular shapes. Grid squares represent 1cm² or m².
• Q2 approximating the area of three irregular shapes and comparing them using inequality symbols. Grid squares represent 1cm² or m².
• Q3 outlining an area on a map which meets the given criteria. Grid squares represent 1cm² or m².

Expected

• Q4 approximating the combined area of the irregular shapes. Grid squares represent 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
• Q5 approximating the area of three irregular shapes and comparing them using inequality symbols. Grid squares represent 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².
• Q6 outlining an area on a map which meets the given criteria. Grid squares represent 2, 3, 4 or 5cm² or m².

Greater Depth

• Q7 approximating the combined area of the irregular shapes. Grid squares represent 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².
• Q8 approximating the area of three irregular shapes and comparing them using inequality symbols. Grid squares represent 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².
• Q9 outlining an area on a map which meets the given criteria. Grid squares represent 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5cm² or m².

How do our maths homework resources work?

Our maths homework resources are not part of our adaptive maths resources, but they can be used alongside for consolidation purposes and to give children more opportunities to practise.
